- Contexto
- All roads and highways are considered as obstacles extending 4.8 m above the crown of the road, except aerodrome service roads where all vehicular traffic is under control of the aerodrome authorities and coordinated with the aerodrome traffic control tower.
- When the aerodrome control tower does not participate in the apron management service, procedures should be established to facilitate the orderly transition of aircraft between the apron management unit and the aerodrome control tower.
- The tower is responsible for issuing information and clearances to aircraft under its control to achieve a safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of air traffic on and in the vicinity of an aerodrome. The aim is to prevent collisions between aircraft flying in the aerodrome circuit; aircraft taking off and landing; and aircraft, vehicles, and obstructions in the maneuvering area. The task of providing specified services on the apron may belong to either an aerodrome control tower or a separate unit.
